NUMBERS IN A TABLE

[Kathy]

I created a table and need to find a quick way to have the dollar amounts
insert a comma automatically. It's getting very tedious inserting that comma
!!

Hi Kathy,

Word won't auto-format the numbers for you, but you can input the unformatted numbers (ie you don't even need to add the '$') then
select them and run a macro like:
Sub MakeCurrency()
Dim oCel As Cell
Dim oRng As Range
If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
For Each oCel In Selection.Cells
Set oRng = oCel.Range
oRng.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
On Error Resume Next
If CDec(oRng.Text) Then oCel.Range.Text = Format(oRng.Text, "$#,##0.00")
Next
End If
End Sub
